“…Eesti keele taju-uurimises on aga kõige enam tähelepanu pälvinud eesti keele häälikukestuste taju (Lehiste 1960, 1970-75, Eek 1980a, 1980b, Eek ja Meister 2003, Lippus jt 2007, 2009. Stiimulite langemist erinevatesse kategooriatesse on kasutatud väldete fonoloogilise iseloomu määratlemiseks.…”

“…Eesti keeles läbi viidud foneetilised katsed ei ole enamasti kasutanud tervet kategoriaalse taju mudelit koos selle juurde kuuluva katsemeetodiga, vaid on enamasti rakendanud identifikatsioonikatset (Lehiste 1960, Eek 1980a,b, Eek ja Meister 1994, 1996, Lippus jt 2007, 2009, 2011. Katsetulemuste tõlgendamisel on aga olnud oluline kategoriaalse taju uurimisparadigmast pärinev teoreetiline lähtekoht, et identifikatsioonikatsega on võimalik tuvastada akustiliste tunnuste alusel tekkivate keeleliste kategooriate piire ning tõestada nende eksisteerimist tajus.…”

Erinevate häälikute laad meie igapäevases kõnes varieerub tugevalt, kuid häälduse varieeruvus ei ole enamasti kõneeristusele takistuseks. See annab alust oletada, et kõnetaju on välja arendanud süsteemi, millega tuvastada foneeme väga suure varieeruvusega kõnesignaalist. See süsteem tegeleb kõne varieeruvusega nii tõhusalt ja kiiresti, et me ei ole sellest enamasti teadlikud. Seda süsteemi võiks nimetada kategoriaalseks tajuks (ingl Categorical Perception), kuid kuna taju on uurimisele üksnes kaudselt kättesaadav, siis tähistab see termin pigem eksperimentaalset mudelit või meetodit, millega uuritakse taju võimet foneeme kõnesignaalist eristada. (Schouten jt 2003) Käesolevas artiklis arutatakse kategoriaalse taju kui mudeli ja katsemeetodi üle, mille teoreetilised lähtekohad on olnud nii muudes keeltes kui eesti keeles läbi viidud tajukatsete ülesehituse ja järelduste eeldusteks.Categorical perception or the hypothesis of how we perceive linguistic units. The acoustic signal of everyday speech is very variable, but it seldom distracts the normal speech communication. This motivates the hypothesis that the speech perception must have developed a special mechanism for extracting phonemes from highly variable speech signal. This mechanism extracts phonemes so efficiently and quickly that we are often unaware of it. We would like to call this mechanism “categorical perception of speech”, but since the perceptual processes are only indirectly accessible for investigation, the term refers rather to a theoretical model or an experimental method for investigating our perceptual ability to distinguish phonemes from the speech signal so efficiently (Schouten et al. 2003). In this paper the Categorical Perception as an experimental method and its theoretical statements will be discussed in connection to perception experiments and findings in other languages as well as in Estonian language.

“…Duration can change a word’s meaning in many different languages, including Estonian. Although Russian does not have phonologicallength category, lexical stress has a comparable significance as itis mainly associated with the duration of a phoneme ( Bondarko, 1977 , as cited in Meister, 2011 ), for example ‘ M ýκa’ – ‘agony’, ‘ M yκá’ – ‘flour’ ( Hint, 1998 ). Studies have shown that a decrease in duration can be harder for the brain to detect than an increase.…”

“…For the perception of contrastive word stress, Russian-native listeners mainly use duration and the intensity cue while ignoring vowel quantity and pitch ( Chrabaszcz et al, 2014 ). For example, Russian native speakers tend to rely only on durational cues even while discriminating Estonian Q2 and Q3 while Estonians use pitch cues ( Lippus et al, 2009 ; Meister, 2011 ; Chrabaszcz et al, 2014 ). It is possible that because of their own language structure, Russian native speakers do not perceive the change in pitch as clearly, and are not able to distinguish quantities by using changes in duration alone, making it difficult for them to choose the correct quantity.…”

Similar to visual perception, auditory perception also has a clearly described “pop-out” effect, where an element with some extra feature is easier to detect among elements without an extra feature. This phenomenon is better known as auditory perceptual asymmetry. We investigated such asymmetry between shorter or longer duration, and level or falling of pitch of linguistic stimuli that carry a meaning in one language (Estonian), but not in another (Russian). For the mismatch negativity (MMN) experiment, we created four different types of stimuli by modifying the duration of the first vowel [ɑ] (170, 290 ms) and pitch contour (level vs. falling pitch) of the stimuli words (‘SATA,’ ‘SAKI’). The stimuli were synthesized from Estonian words (‘SATA,’ ‘SAKI’) and follow the Estonian language three-way quantity system, which incorporates tonal features (falling pitch contour) together with temporal patterns. This made the meaning of the word dependent on the combination of both features and allows us to compare the relative contribution of duration and pitch contour in discrimination of language stimuli in the brain via MMN generation. The participants of the experiment were 12 Russian native speakers with little or no experience in Estonian and living in Estonia short-term, and 12 Estonian native speakers (age 18–27 years). We found that participants’ perception of the linguistic stimuli differed not only according to the physical features but also according to their native language, confirming that the meaning of the word interferes with the early automatic processing of phonological features. The GAMM and ANOVA analysis of the reversed design results showed that the deviant with longer duration among shorter standards elicited a MMN response with greater amplitude than the short deviant among long standards, while changes in pitch contour (falling vs. level pitch) produced neither strong MMN nor asymmetry. Thus, we demonstrate the effect of language background on asymmetric perception of linguistic stimuli that aligns with those of previous studies (Jaramillo et al., 2000), and contributes to the growing body of knowledge supporting auditory perceptual asymmetry.
